Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is the subject of a revealing new Netflix documentary series in which he reveals details about his childhood and family life.
The six-part series, which Mr Ramsay has executive-produced, follows the celebrity chef as he embarks on his most ambitious project yet, the opening of five culinary experiences in one of London's tallest buildings, 22 Bishopsgate.
The series offers an emotional look at the celebrity chef, as he reveals details about his childhood and fatherhood.

Gordon Ramsay told the Radio Times: "I think for me, no one quite understands just how chaotic a chef's life is. And so to get that kind of insight of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, coupled with the pressure of what was going on in terms of 22 Bishopsgate, I was desperate to show not just the real me, but just the connect with the family and the amazing bond we have."
Regarding having the cameras follow his every move, Mr Ramsay admitted it was "intrusive but brutally honest".
"And it was incredibly moving because they caught me at a very difficult, tough, demanding year," he added.

Daughters Tilly and Holly Ramsay also feature throughout the series as well as his wife, Tana, who the Michelin-starred chef "couldn't have done any of this without".
"We're all together, whether we are in Cornwall or in London, we're all together," he added.
Gordon Ramsay was born in Johnstone and grew up in Scotland until the age of nine, before moving to England with his family.
Mr Ramsay has since found worldwide success with an empire consisting of numerous TV series and over 90 restaurants across the globe.
He previously spoke about his Oxfordshire links on the High Performance podcast, and the clip has once again gone viral this week on social media.
Mr Ramsay was scouted by Glasgow Rangers whilst playing in youth team football in Oxfordshire, and moved back to the county after a "devastating" knee injury cut his promising football career in Scotland short.
He said: “I came back down to Banbury in Oxfordshire and lived in a council flat with my sister and got into college and into catering as a way of becoming independent and moving further away from the upset that was in my mind on a daily basis.
"It was really painful, brutally painful, especially when your mates are making it, and you're seeing the headlines, and purposely not watching the news and not finding out the scores on a Saturday afternoon as you want to move away from that.
"It was that moment my mum taught me ‘pick yourself up, dust yourself down and go again’.”
